bloom, closure

i wasn't fully satisfied with my wordplay project for bloom.  i just loved the word so much, and though i enjoyed my studies of the peonies, i didn't feel that i had done justice to the word.  so i worked on a second project. 

bloom, finally


it's 22x30, mixed media on paper.  i'm awfully pleased, and feeling fully at peace with bloom.  

now, on to cover.

I quite literally LOVE this painting. The colors and repetitive circles especially.
